Adapting encoder resource allocation based on scene engagement information

Abstract

An engagement analytics engine of a computing device analyzes one or more of scene representations, player inputs, or player meta information and generates corresponding engagement data indicative of a level of engagement corresponding to the represented scene. The engagement analytics engine generates encoding parameters based on the engagement data to cause scenes or regions within scenes to be encoded with a level of quality based on the indicated level of engagement. In some examples, the engagement analytics engine generates rendering parameters based on the engagement data to cause scenes to be rendered with a frame rate or quality parameters based on the indicated level of engagement. In some examples, the engagement analytics engine causes a load balancer to shift workloads associated with one or more scenes to higher or lower performance servers based on the engagement data.
